As she looked at the unconscious mage apprentice in front of her, Selena couldn't help but turn towards her descendant, Beatrice, who was standing nearby.
"Are you sure that you want to use your reward for something like this?" asked Selena as she approached Beatrice, who was quite a bit taller than, causing the latter to nod.
"I want to be able to continue my practicing magic in peace for at least another decade," said Diana, causing Selena to snap her fingers, causing the mage apprentice to suddenly fly in front of her.
A moment later, Selena stretched out her fingers towards the unconscious mage apprentice, causing a small black cloud to emerge from it before going straight through the eyeballs of the apprentice.
Immediately after that, the mage apprentice fell to the ground, causing Selena to turn towards Beatrice.
"You can just leave him right here, he won't remember a thing, nor will anyone notice anything wrong with him," said Selena before suddenly turning into a black cloud and dispersing into all directions, without giving Beatrice any chance to react.
'Selena doesn't have any reason to lie to me right now, it should be fine...' thought Beatrice before immediately flying away, unwilling to be here when the mage apprentice awakened.
...
After taking a final look at Beatrice, who was currently flying in the opposite direction, Selena couldn't help but fall into a bit of thought.
"Her progress is pretty fast, there's a good chance that she can become an Archmage in the future," mumbled Selena with a thoughtful look on her face.
If it had been in the past, Selena wouldn't have hesitated in the slightest, and eliminated this young mage who could possibly become an Archmage in the future.
'It shouldn't matter much as long as I can fully control the Flying City,' thought Selena as she flew over the ocean.
Right now, having a Flying City in her possession, Selena was not afraid in the slightest of anything that could happen.
Even if a Legendary Mage or a True God appeared, as long as Selena could control the flying city, she would still be able to survive without much trouble, not to mention a mere Archmage like Beatrice had the chance of becoming.
After a few minutes of flight, finally arrived at her destination, a tiny rock island, around a hundred meters in size.
A few moments after landing onto this Island, Selena disappeared from the Malto Archipelago and instantly reappeared back on the Magic Continent.
Unaware of the thoughts and plans of her ancestor, Beatrice had successfully returned to her home after warning her Ant colonies to no longer spy on the Academy Mages.
...
As he opened his eyes and stared at the lush forest above him, Dfeeb couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch his forehead, as memories from yesterday rushed into his mind.
"Getting drunk whilst on a mission, what was I even thinking?" mumbled Dfeeb before slowly rising to his feet, still a bit wobbly.
Although Mage Apprentices had much higher tolerance for alcohol than mortals, not only was Dfeeb not a particularly powerful apprentice, he also went quite a bit overboard yesterday.
After a few moments of thought, Dfeeb slightly nodded his head.
"I got lost on the island and spent the night out, that should be quite believable..." mumbled Dfeeb before making up some more details for his story, using the forest around him for inspirational material.
Although Dfeeb was far too drunk yesterday, and did not remember how he had got to his forest, he was still quite fortunate, as he could say that he had gotten lost in the forest.
At the same time, another idea popped up in Dfeeb's mind.
"I should silence the people that saw me drink yesterday..." mumbled Dfeeb as he sunk into his mind and began searching his memories.
A few moments later, Dfeeb appeared a bit puzzled, as he could actually not remember who he had gotten drunk with.
Normally, this would have already alerted Dfeeb, who was usually very cautious, but at the moment, for whatever reason, all of Dfeeb's cautiousness seemed to have evaporated into thin air, as such, he did not pay much attention to those people any longer.
"I didn't give my actual name, so It's probably fine..." mumbled Dfeeb before finishing creating his excuse.
A few moments after that, Dfeeb finally began making his way out of the forest.
...
Later that day,
As he looked at the young mage apprentice who had just arrived at the scene, a faint frown couldn't help but appear on Toeghei's face.
"Dfeeb, we've been searching for you, go back to work immediately," said Toeghei, who did not care much that the missing mage apprentice had been found.
"I understand sir, I'll get on with it," said Dfeeb before quickly going to help the other mage apprentices had a somewhat higher workload because of the absence of the apprentice.
Interestingly, merely a few moments after Dfeeb left, another mage apprentice made his way to Toeghei, who wanted to rest a bit, causing another frown to appear on his face.
"What is it Heik?" asked Toeghei as he looked at Heik, who had just come to him.
"We've found someone with D Rank Space Affinity in one of the minor noble houses, how should we deal with him?"
"Since it's only D Rank, he doesn't have much potential, you can guide him to one of the minor academies," said Toeghei before closing his eyes, leaving Heik slightly speechless at the laziness of his supervisor.
...
At the same time, within Beatrice's hideout.
As she felt her connection with that little guy remain relatively stable even as the distance between the two of them increased, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
"It's as I expected, with how difficult it is for Space Mages to progress, a D Rank Space Affinity kid doesn't have any chance of getting into one of the major academies..." mumbled Beatrice as she smiled.
As long as that kid was in one of the Academies without any Archmages, Beatrice was confident that her actions wouldn't be discovered.
